Shenzhen drafts first brain-data regulation
Local laws for a single emerging technology are rare. The draft pairs industrial support with brain-data ethics, requiring separate written consent, a first nationwide. That sets a practical compliance benchmark for neural data handling.
Endovascular EEG Records 3.7 Times the Power of Scalp EEG in 5 Patients
09-03Endovascular electrodes promise cortical proximity without craniotomy, but human data were scarce. This study measures power and coupling in 5 patients, giving a usable benchmark for interventional BCI.
